    I totally get why it isn't but man I wish this was a portrait game with auto fire so you could play with one hand.

    It's awesome though! Really well done. Like the Jetpack Joyride of 2016.

    Yes and thank you! I was proud to see Pang Adventures go multi platform as well. The Bug Butcher is a true homage to the Pang Series.

    The dpad is too narrow for me. Please add an option to move the arrows further away from each other? Thanks great game otherwise. Using Mfi for now.

    Guys with the PC version, how big is it on Steam? I'm just curious if the game is actually supposed to be ~700 MBs installed on iOS.

    GLORIOUS.

    So far it's GLORIOUS.

    If you are looking for a FRANTIC, awesome looking, super fun shooter/pang clone, look no further.

    Plays wonderfully on a iPhone 6S.

    Controls are spot on so far, even if I wouldn't mind a slightly more spaced out directional arrows, but maybe I just have to accustom myself to them, will see.

    Harder than the Steam counterpart, but that was expected.
    Im pretty sure I'll put many hours in this, trying to master everything.
    Weird...I never noticed the dash button on the Steam demo....really useful here.

    I was in the mood for something really action and I'm impressed so far, I really recommend it.

    Animations are superb.
    Wouldn't mind a metroidvania/platformer/shooter in the same vein with this graphics too.
    Congrats to the devs for the multiple releases!!!

    As I know it won't last, let me brag a bit.

    I just hit a 119 combo and got the top placement in the world leaderboard in level 5.
    I was never able to reach such a combo with the Steam demo, so it bodes well for the controls so far :p

    LET THEM COME!!!

    So much fun. Definite GOTW contender.

    My mfi works great until I play level 6. My guy keeps getting stuck shooting up.

    The size issue is definitely a concern. I've been told the Android version is around 200 MBs installed and I still don't know how big the PC version is, but maybe the game hasn't been compressed properly or something?

    Yep!!!

    They are really great, on par with the animations.
    Actually the 'intro' is awesome...despite the colorful cartoonish graphics gave me some Alien vibes.

    That is indeed odd. I can vouch for the Android version being around 200 MB. Not sure what all those extra MB are for on the iOS side.

    Perfect and super fun game. Only that MFI is not working with a Nimbus, only control pad but no buttons. Maybe there is no Nimbus support or something is wrong
